Harford County divorce & criminal lawyers committed to our clients and our community

The multi-service law firm of Schlaich & Thompson, Chartered is dedicated to the thousands of clients ― individuals and families ― we have diligently represented in the Harford County town of Bel Air and surrounding communities since 1998.

As Maryland natives, we share a steadfast commitment to providing our clients and our community with high-quality, skilled and affordable legal services ― and the personal attention each client deserves.

We are proud of the relationships we build and nurture with our clients, and we work hard to earn your respect. Our Bel Air family, divorce & criminal lawyers know the legal community in the Harford area well ― the judges, prosecutors and other attorneys ― and the best strategies to use with them. We know how to guide you through the legal process to the outcome that most benefits you and your family.

Our clients’ interests always come first

We care about the people who come to us for legal help. We tailor our services to the specific needs of each client, providing practical and affordable legal solutions. You work with the same Bel Air lawyer throughout your case, and your lawyer will keep you informed from start to finish. We take the time to answer all of your questions, some of which may include:

Criminal Defense Cases: What are my chances of avoiding conviction? Is there a possibility I will go to jail?

Family Law Cases: When will my divorce be final? Are my chances favorable for child custody? How much will child support be?

Personal Injury Cases: How will I pay my doctor bills? How will I be compensated for my pain, suffering and time lost from work?

In all cases, our goal is to keep you out of the courtroom and take the most cost-effective path to a fair and just resolution. We are as skilled at achieving a positive outcome through negotiation or settlement as we are in litigation. If going to trial is in your best interest, we are aggressive litigators with a proven track record of winning cases. Our clients’ interests always come first.
